On the twisty roads, they do a good job at resisting body roll and it gives the front end a well planted feel. ![]() ![]() When you begin driving, one the the first things you will notice is the stiffer front springs. I had to lengthen the rear differential breather hose and move the clamp for the handbrake cables to allow for the greater travel on the rear suspension. The longer Calmini shock, you can see the extra travel. The difference between the longer Calmini shock vs the shorter OE shock. The front struts didn't make much difference in ride height, but the rear went up a little. This was when i installed the Calmini struts and shocks. that's because the OE rear shocks are too short! they are fully extended and loaded up against the bump stops. You might notice that the rear looks abit sagged. (The Calmini Struts came late, so i had used back the OE struts / rear shocks for a while) OE front struts with spacers bolted to them. You can see on the OE arm that the ball joint is permanently attached. and not the entire arm! which costs quite alot. ![]() One of the huge advantages of the Calmini arm is that the ball joints are removable, so when it goes bad, i can just replace the ball joint.
